Young birds may look like adults, but they are still physically and emotionally immature, and may tire quickly.

don't leave the house

tomorrow i will head to the mountains for a brief respite of desert heat.EXCEPTin our lecture this morning, we were warned of the dangers of alititude sickness (we'll be camping at 9,000'+), dehydration, dead trees falling on us, police dogs (we will be working near a heavily guarded, multi-million dollar observatory), insect stings/bites, sunburn, freezing, lightning, fires and dangerous tourists who don't know what side of the road to drive on.

personally, i don't buy it.

at 9 am, it was around 85 degrees F in Tucson. it was about 38 degrees F where we'll be camping.
